Anti-dumping charges slow export in Vietnam

Foreign investment into Vietnam could move to other countries as the number of overseas anti-dumping lawsuits rack up against the country. The Vietnamese government has denied allegations that it has subsidized any industry, such as the plastics industry which has been under attack most recently by US plastic bag companies Hilex Poly Co., LLC and Super Corporation. In the shoe sector, Canadian Association of Shoe Producers and a Brazilian shoe industry group, Abicalcado have also pressed charges for imported soles. India charged the highest anti-dumping tax rates on fibre imported from Vietnam, Thailand and China. Anti-dumping charges are based on accusations that imports are priced suspiciously low so that local industry is protected from unfair competition.
